Review Centre: Vintage Bands

"These guys are amazing!! They agreed to play with 3 days notice, and made my mums 70th Birthday an incredible occasion that she won't forget. Great musicians, lovely guys, and a really tight gypsy swing band with fab stage charisma. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend."

"We've booked the swing zippers for two high profile events in the last year: Their first appearance took place at our annual goose fair dinner and awards ceremony where they performed a 30 minute set in the break coffee break. It was supposed to be an opportunity for our guests to mingle but everybody stayed in their seats as these two fabulous musicians blew them away with some pulsating gypsy jazz. The second and most recent appearance was part of our 30th anniversary celebrations with German city Karlshruhe. The duo played for 1 hour whilst our guests interacted during the dinner break. Their sound, style, talent and superb range of acoustic instrumentals was simply perfect for the occasion! "

"Mel is my ‘first call’ session singer. Whether it’s a rip-roaring rock song or an emotional ballad, Mel has an uncanny ability to find just the right mood and approach in her vocal performance to compliment the song perfectly. She is able to quickly understand what the songwriter and/or producer is trying to achieve and by using a balance of her exquisite tone and perfectly honed technique she is always able to come up with exactly what is required. Added to that, Mel is a joy to work with in the studio with a fantastic attitude and work ethic. She gets the job done!"

"Fantastic night. The Music from The Pop Pickers was Fab and the buffet was scrumptious. I didn't do any dancing (just had stroke) but my wife really had a blast boogieing with some of the ladies on the dance floor, thank you girls."

"Fleur sang a beautiful set for our wedding in August. She sang a gorgeous mix of dance numbers and slower romantic ones, and made our reception very special. She was a delight to have there with us and tailored her set to include our requests as well. I'm so glad we booked Fleur and can't recommend her enough for any occasion - she is relaxed, elegant and has such a beautiful voice, it set such a lovely tone for our evening. Thank you, Fleur!!"

"Southern sons quite literally made our evening, they learnt our first dance song, quite an obscure one as it was an American country song. They played it beautifully. Our dance floor was never empty and the boys were hilarious. They filled the room with an amazing atmosphere and people haven’t stopped raving about them. My new husband and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all once again for giving us the best night. We will be keeping them in mind for future events. Highly recommended."

"Rose was superb: a versatile voice able to give operatic panache to Rule Britannia as well as a stylish polish to her songs of the 1940s repertoire."

"Francesca sang for us at my Dad’s funeral. It was truly beautiful. She has a wonderful voice. The sad thing was he would have just loved to have been there listening. Francesca, thank you. You were just perfect. X"

"I booked Hetty & the jazz band for an Italian themed cocktail party for a pop up shop launch in London. They were flexible with numbers and budget for me (I only needed a 3 piece, not the traditional 5 piece group). They also had to play outside and we're very accommodating of that and brought their own speakers / soft music btw sets. So I didn't need to worry about anything music related on the evening which was a real relief. And they were great. They really lifted and helped make the party a huge success and were truly perfect for our event. I had them sing only Italian themed songs, but they would be wonderful at any style of jazz performance. Easy to work to work with and incredibly professional - I highly recommend. Sarah "

"Alex and the band came to our venue at 6pn and set up ready for the 1st dance at 7pm. From them they played 2 sets and Managed the DJing in between. They were brilliant! From the start to the end the music they played was excellent and they sounded great. We had so many compliments from guests wanting to know who they were. I was in communications with Alex a few weeks prior to the wedding. he was happy to send me his set list but was also happy when I requested he not play some of the songs on the list. I told him I was into a certain band and he went out of his way to add that into the bands set list, which was brilliant. I cannot recommend them more. Thank you for everything, you were all amazing!"
